Don't know if i've been abducted by bubblegum

Quote Ashiana24


This is very strange, Bubblegum. Do you mind if I ask, how old were you when this occurred? What time was it when you fell asleep? and was it the previous day that you fell asleep?


I believe because of this and the part you wrote about having dreams of fly


What worked for me during my years of sleep paralysis and the old hag syndrome was to relax completely. What one psychic said is to pray before you go to bed and ask God "Please let me remain in my body during sleep and not to have the sleep paralysis."


This sounds to me like it could be a loved one who has passed over.


I agree, while the other could be psychological, sleep paralysis is a sleep disorder.

Also, when i was a kid i would get dreams of flying - sort of floating on the ceiling. sometimes i still get dreams where i fly.


Bubblegum, did you have this dream before you had been introduced to the UFO phenomenon? Your vision of the insect/bug-like being in your dream could have really been one of the insect-looking aliens. Can you please describe more of what the insect looked like?(size, color, eyes)

Hi Ashiana24,
i was 27 when it occurred. I think it was that morning that i suppose i fell asleep - i'm not sure if i even fell asleep - i just remember nothing until that afternoon. In retrospect i'm not even totally sure that it was in the morning (although i think i was sure at the time) - i just know that i was missing a big chunk of time and i had no idea what happened. Nothing like that has ever happened to me before and it felt really weird. I think it all happened on the same day.

Thanks for the advice - i'm not sure about relaxing - i find it very hard to; i have the desire to fight it as i don't like not being in control.

You may be right about the loved one who has passed over.

I guess, in more recent years i've become more interested in ufos, but it's mainly because of the strange things that have been happening to me. I wasn't really that interested to start with - i had read a book about the bermuda triangle disappearances a while ago; and i was acquainted with von daniken's stuff; but apart from that until recently i hadn't read anything else about ufos. I probably did have the dream more recently i suppose. I sort of feel compelled to read stuff now to try to figure out what if anything is going on.

re: the insect; in the dream, it didn't seem to me to be an alien that was insect, it was the ship itself that started to look insect like (and scary) for some reason. At first i was interested in it; then when it stopped and came closer to me (noticed me i felt) it changed; and i got scared of it. Bug like would be the best way to describe what i felt it was like - like the underside of a bug. Weird, i know.

I've never really seen a decent picture of an insectoid alien (or any picture really ,come to think of it). I look at alien pictures occasionally (in recent times, out of curiosity); but think a lot of them look pretty unconvincing. Some look possible; but a lot look like fakes to me. I'm not really that interested in that stuff... more a desire to understand the universe; and what's going on with me. (if there is anything to my experiences).

I should state, just to make you more dubious about my experiences probably, that my grandfather was diagnosed as schizophrenic, and i believe he had some unusual experiences. I think his family believed it was a genuine psychological problem (as it is called) - i always believed he was really sane. He just seemed sane to me, in spite of everything. And as i have had similar experiences to him probably, i believe that it is possible that there is some real (not understood) phenomena tied up with this 'disorder'. ... Many might disagree. I guess a belief that he was experiencing something real (on some level) is part of my recent interest in ufos (he died not long ago); and i guess some anger that no one else gives any credence to him actually experiencing any real phenomena. Of course, even i can't be sure it's not all psychological. But as someone who's experienced some of this phenomena, i can say it seems as real to me as any of the other stuff i've experienced. (Obviously.. ha ha.... that's the criteria for the disorder, .. it would seem real to me ) Oh well.

TheFlylingFisherman: i think you could be right about the spiritual contact. The sleep paralysis is definitely not pleasant...some experiences i have had have been quite scary. I should say that even in childhood i had some quite terrifying - i could call them nightmares, they started when i was asleep; but also when i was awake, i was still terrified. Maybe normal for kids, i suppose.

Quote bubblegum

Also i've been spoken to in dreams.

in one, (the kicking one) - i think someone said 'who are you?"

in another recent one, which was very scary - a voice said, 'i know you' and then this really scary and vivid image of a face flashed in my head. actually, really didnt like that one. took me back to the dreams i used to have as a kid.

Hi Bubblegum, I have to say in re-reading your experience, I feel something strange happened. I could understand someone falling asleep for a few hours after a very hard day at work, but to fall asleep for that period of time for no reason and to have missing time is very strange


In a lot of the cases I’ve read, aliens shapeshift to mask their true identity. They may appear initially as something different: a loved one, a pet, an owl or as something else, but upon closer inspection, the abductee may see it change to reveal its true form. I’ve also read several cases where abductees felt the spacecraft they had seen was actually a breathing living entity. Whether this is just another deception is unknown; but I think it’s interesting that you describe the same ship appearance


I’m curious to know what you think about the following picture

Bubblegum, this is what I’ve believed for a long time. I had a friend who was schizophrenic and passed a few years ago. But before he passed, I had spent a lot of times just talking to him about his “disorder.” It seemed to me that he was communicating with beings from another dimension and would himself fade in and out of our dimension. I told his parents it was comparable to tuning into a radio where some stations are clearer and others have bad reception. The problem was that my friend seemed to be more tuned into those “other stations” than to “our dimensional station. ;-) I heard a psychic say that many people with schizophrenics sometimes are experiencing interdimensional experiences and that their limbic system is more open to this.

Some people have had accidents which have results in some trauma to the brain. Later, they discover they develop psychic abilities. I had another friend who at the age of three fell down a flight of stairs in his walker. Later, at the age of 5, he experienced his first encounter with the grays. Whether the accident had anything to do with this or whether it somehow changed his brain to become more open to these types of experiences is unknown.


Bubblegum, please don’t totally discount your grandfather’s experiences. Years ago I heard someone say that we could learn some things from listening to people in mental institutions. It is my belief that some of them could be having actual experiences and in communication with beings not of this earth or dimension.

re; the picture; i don't like it, but maybe i'm somehow ambivalent about it. i don't like the needle thing its holding...seems familiar. I am a bit averse to needles at the moment (had a lot of blood tests lately). maybe thats why.

oh, and just for the record, my grandfather was a really nice guy, a really amazing guy. he had this philosophy of life which was really great. he was very stoical and very tough; and had a great sense of humour.

i found out recently he was given electic shock therapy as part of his treatment during some earlier schizophrenic episodes (before he was put on medication) and that really makes me angry. the last th ing someone who's had an experience needs is to be isolated from family and scared/tortured. You need support and comfort/understanding from those around you if it was a scary experience. Of course, because he was tough he never would have complained about it; they thought they were doing the right thing i suppose (i'm glad i didn't live back then).

Thanks flyingfisherman. I kind of hope you're wrong, but i found the missing time very bizarre and scary afterwards. I have not had much experiences lately (touch wood). I always have the feeling i'm being watched however. Sometimes i feel there is something in the room with me, (i have heard strange noises - glob glob glob once near my ear, in the past), but i don't see anything really (don't want to either).

is there a reason you think the abductions are physical not mental/soul type thing? (apart from the missing time?) I have never found any physical marks on me i don't think. Although i think my clothes may have been disarranged once that i couldn't explain.

Quote Jokey

I'm just a noob but it seems odd to me that invoking the name of Jesus seems to be effective in halting abductions for many people. Are there other ways?

The ramnifications of this approach seems to infer that these beings are spiritual in nature and some people are more vulnerable than others. My two cents.
